And the 346 lovers will also.
In other words, act like you have in defending the 260?

Don't it get very old after awhile?

, no need to defend the 260. It has been a great saw and just like the 440, it's RIP has come. Will this 261 be a good replacement for the tried and true 260? Looks like it..

The pot calling the kettle black???
Fair question actually...both saws ran more slowly with a muffler mod, so maybe stock mufflers will be the latest hot power trick.
What in the world are you talking about? The 261 picked up more than 10%.

No worries, I'll never catch ya.
We did just agree in another thread though.
Don't worry about catching me, I don't drink the 346 kool aid. Troll however, has 30,000 posts. 15,000 are hating on the 026/260 and 15,000 are preaching about the 346.
I can agree when needed. My new Redmax ope has really gotten the Stihl Gods pee-ed off.
I need to buy a 261 to offset the wrath.

I'm not Troll and I don't bash Stihl, but he's OK.
I also don't drink the kool aid, I go by experience.
I have a Stihl FS110 BTW

Stihl FS110, just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber you totally redeam youself :yourock::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
Post #983 compares the times based on the videos you posted.
Ed I think maybe you have some of the vids mixed up, the day we did the stock vs mm test the 261 cut times were 10-12% faster with a mm.
I don't know what you put in your graphs, but I certainly never posted that the 261 was slower with a muffler mod.
As I said when I posted the graphs, what is in the graphs are average of times based on the videos you posted. I timed each cut 4 times, and used the average as the cut time for that saw, then averaged across the number of cuts for each saw.
If you search Google for "stopwatch", you get a page with a stopwatch. I just reduce the windows with the video and the stopwatch and time as I watch.
My understanding was that the first 2 cuts shown on post 240 was the stock MS241. I got 7.448 sec for the first cut and 6.976 sec for the second, for an average of 7.212 sec. According to the video, the last 2 cuts were with the muffler mod. For those I got times of 7.167 sec and 7.613 sec for an average of 7.390 sec.
7.39 > 7.212.
